RODE Microphones Stereo VideoMic X - Manual (Page 13)

24 25
The Stereo VideoMic X has been designed to work best with the
camera’s auto-gain control (AGC) switched off. (see your camera’s
user manual for instructions on setting the gain control to manual)
As always, it is recommended to test your audio first before
recording anything of importance.
The Stereo VideoMic X has been RF/EMI shielded for very high
rejection of radio frequency interference, but we suggest you keep
all transmitters, cell phones, pagers etc. at least two metres away
to reduce the possibility of interference affecting your recordings.
High frequency boost control
The Stereo VideoMic X features a unique high frequency boost,
which is designed to help pick out high frequency detail such as
voices in a recording environment. The boost will also combat any
high frequency loss experienced with the use of wind protection.
The high frequency boost function is engaged via the top button on
the back of the microphone body.

When engaged, the high frequency boost will apply a +6db shelf
from 3kHz upwards, adding overall clarity to the recorded signal.
